Burnout sucks. We all experience it at some point or another as students. The most important thing is to recognize that you’re feeling burnt out and not to internalize the feelings. It’s not how things always have been for you, and it’s not how things always will be.
Be gentle with yourself and take small bites out of the work. Expecting yourself to be able to sit down and work for three hours straight when you’re feeling burnt out is unrealistic and will only exacerbate how you’re feeling. Try working for 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off, or whatever increments you think make sense right now. And don’t forget to commend yourself for whatever amount of work you get done. A little is better than none.
